"They put it in soup or barbecue it whole," German said. "The fish have an armor shell that acts like a built-in bowl. So they take out the gut and cook the fish whole and just eat the meat out of the shell."

I may never look at a pleco in the same way again! Interesting article, Byron. Thanks for posting!!
